We are continuing to expand the vehicle coverage for our ORIS_E3: the all-electric retractable towbar is now also available as a retrofit solution for the Mercedes-Benz C-Class Saloon W206 and Estate S206. The BMW iX3 (G01, F97, G01) has also been added to our E3 range

With ORIS_E3, ACPS Automotive brings OE expertise to the aftermarket. The system is already available for various Mercedes-Benz and BMW models, including the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, the BMW 5 Series, the BMW 3 Series, the BMW X3 and the BMW X4. The latest additions further strengthen the ORIS portfolio for modern premium vehicles and electrified mobility.

Developed for workshops and discerning customers, ORIS_E3 combines high product quality, safety, convenience and precision workmanship.

It is supplied as a complete set including control units, a vehicle-specific wiring harness, detailed installation and operating instructions, and a pre-installed 13-pin wiring harness with vehicle-specific connectors.

The CUPRA Terramar (KP1) brings dynamic performance to the compact SUV segment and is now complemented by precisely engineered retrofit solutions from ORIS.

Two towbar variants are now available for this model: a fixed version and the vertically detachable AK41 FIX4BIKE®. Both systems have been specially developed to meet the requirements of this modern platform and combine a precise fit with reliable functionality.

A matching vehicle-specific wiring kit is also available for both ORIS towbars. They are also available as DUO complete sets, which include the respective towbar and the corresponding wiring kit.

The new E3 towbar system is now available for the Škoda Karoq, expanding the ORIS product range with a practical and efficient solution tailored to this model.

THE FIRST ALL-ELECTRIC RETRACTABLE TOWBAR for the independent workshop - is called ORIS_E3!

The ORIS_E3 revolutionises the possibilities of vehicle retrofitting. The first fully electric retractable towbar as a retrofit solution for the car parts trade and its affiliated independent garages and car dealerships is now available in 11 variants.

New to the range is the ORIS_E3 for the Škoda Karoq vehicle.

Best of all, we have several more models in the pipeline.

The new Renault Master IV and its sister model, the Nissan Interstar, set new standards in their class with more efficient engines, optimised aerodynamics and a significantly improved driver's workplace. A fixed ORIS towbar and a flange ball version are now available for both vehicle models. Both ORIS coupling systems are also available as DUO sets.

The fully electric Mercedes-Benz EQE and EQS stand for top comfort and innovative electric mobility, combining impressive ranges with state-of-the-art driving technology – now complemented by the ORIS AK41 and ORIS AK41 FIX4BIKE® towbars for even greater functionality and flexibility.

For the Mercedes-Benz EQE vehicle model, we now also offer ORIS DUOs, which include the respective ORIS tow bar and a vehicle-specific electrical cable set.

Elegance meets electric drive: the new VW ID.7 Tourer and saloon, the Škoda Elroq and the Ford Capri combine superior performance, long range and a design that characterises the next generation of electromobility.

Our detachable towbars ORIS AK41 and ORIS AK41 FIX4BIKE® complement these models perfectly - they blend seamlessly into their elegant appearance while offering full functionality for trailers and bike racks.

A great advantage for garages and dealers:

One towbar - for three models at once. This simplifies stock-keeping, advice and repeated fitting.

We also offer the right vehicle-specific electric cable set for each model or the ORIS DUO complete set, which includes the towbar and electric cable set - all from a single source.
